Students who enrolled in the DANA program would typically take courses within 4 semesters. Some students would take the fifth semester for gain more experience through a work term. The details of course per semesters are outlined on this page ( https://langara.ca/programs-and-courses/programs/data-analytics/program-curriculum.html ). During their final semester (4th semester), students would take the Capstone Project course. Through the capstone projects, teams consisting of 3-4 students work collaboratively over a period of approximately 4 months to progressively develop solutions ranging from initial concepts to functional prototypes. Their efforts involve applying AI and various machine learning techniques to analyze diverse types of data such as numbers, images, and texts. Students possess programming skills in Python, R and SAS.

Looking to elevate your organization, and bring it to the next level? Bring on learners from Langara College to be your learner-consultants, in a project-based experience.

Students take a Post Degree Diploma in Applied Planning. All students have a post secondary degree in fields including engineering, architecture, geography, and other social sciences. Working in groups, students are available to engage in a range of project activities as described below. Students are supervised by a practicing professional planner. Now in the second semester of a three semester program, the students bring an array of technical and communication skills to any project.
